For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee with anti-cavity toothpaste; and thou shalt be cut off from this mouth. -Gingivitis 9:15
I love brushing my teeth; it’s like my teeth are itchy and I’m giving them a good scratch. After a day of eating and drinking things I probably shouldn’t be consuming, I like to think I’m smiting the hell out of the heathens in my mouth.
Back spasms are causing my shoulders to tighten up and rise up toward my head a little. I feel like I’m in a constant state of shrugging maybe to no one in particular. Hopefully, no one asks me questions today or they’ll think I’m not sure with any of my responses.
My dad got a new prescription of Tussionex for me yesterday. I usually stick to OTC meds, but I’ll use it as a last resort if I’m really ill.
Here’s a little excerpt from the printout that came with the bottle:
This product contains a narcotic cough suppressant (antitussive) that affects a certain part of the brain, reducing the urge to cough.
One time, I accidently consumed 1 tablespoon rather than the prescribed 1 teaspoon. That “accidental overdose” caused me to sleep for 14 straight hours, which is more of a coma when you’re unconscious for that long. Isn’t that awesome?
